so, I have been without flash for a long while, and to be honest, I don’t remember jack of it!

I have this:

```auto

if (ball.hitTest(bat1)) {
 **yspeed*=-1;**
 **yspeed+=.5;**
 **xspeed=(ball._x-bat1._x);**
}

```

I took this from a thing I made some time ago, and I can’t remember the meaning of the things in **bold**. But that’s not the thing…  
I want to write if (ball.\_x = bat1.\_x reverse ball.\_y and ball.\_x)  
But I don’t remember how or IF you can write that…

Hope you understand what I am saying…  
I better start re-learning…
